I’ll probably add some kind of “format” checkbox where you can turn off the WYSIWYG or maybe just the auto P tags for a particular reusable because this _is_ really annoying. * Try placing span or div tags around the text and make sure you’re in code view when you click save so the WYSIWYG doesn’t try to change your code. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Reusables] [Plugin: WordPress Reusables] using IDs instead of names a bad idea](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-using-ids-instead-of-names-a-bad-idea/) * Plugin Author [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-using-ids-instead-of-names-a-bad-idea/#post-1985196) * Originally the plugin was designed this way, but one way or another you’re going to need a unique identifier. Name just isn’t unique. Unfortunately, with the transition over to using custom post types in WP3.0 we don’t have much(if any) control over post titles/names so theoretically you could create two reusables that share the same name, which can be a bigger problem. * I appreciate the input, this has been on my mind after having made that change in the plugin, a controllable “slug” would be what you want. Similar to the url slugs on posts. * One suggestion, if you’re working locally(with or without version control) it might be a good idea to create your reusables out on the production environment and sync the database to your development environment before you start working. That ought to cut down this issue a bit. Also, consider using dynamic sidebars, reusable region widgets, and the [reus] short tag in your theme rather than directly calling the reus() function(ie: Utilize your admin screens as much as possible, that’s really the whole point of the plugin). I made the functions available just in case, but I really don’t recommend using them if you don’t have to. It creates dependencies where your theme MUST have that plugin installed in order to work. This has always been why I like WordPress, for the most part everything works independently, and its just simple. Look at Drupal where everything depends on everything else in order to work, it can be _really_ confusing. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Custom Content Types] [Plugin: Custom Content Types] Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-types-plugin-could-not-be-activated-because-it-triggered-a-fatal-error/) * Plugin Author [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-types-plugin-could-not-be-activated-because-it-triggered-a-fatal-error/#post-1617603) * fireproofsocks — Lol, this has been fixed. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Reusables] [Plugin: WordPress Reusables] Parse error when activating plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-parse-error-when-activating-plugin/) * Plugin Author [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-parse-error-when-activating-plugin/#post-1625989) * Snooze — Try removing the last line of reusables.php. (ie: Get rid of the ?> all together). This almost sounds like the file is somehow being altered with what I’m thinking is a space or some other invalid character after the closing PHP tag. * Let me know if this works so I can update the plugin. * Techism — It might be that you’re using PHP5.3, try switching to 5.2 if you can. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Reusables] cannot choose roles, reusables not visible](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-choose-roles-reusables-not-visible/) * Plugin Author [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-choose-roles-reusables-not-visible/#post-1633948) * This issue has been patched * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Custom Content Types] [Plugin: Custom Content Types] Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-types-plugin-could-not-be-activated-because-it-triggered-a-fatal-error/) * Plugin Author [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-content-types-plugin-could-not-be-activated-because-it-triggered-a-fatal-error/#post-1617579) * Thanks, I’ll take a look at this asap * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Custom Menu – is_active_menu()](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-menu-is_active_menu/) * Thread Starter [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-menu-is_active_menu/#post-1623503) * Got it! 🙂 * ``` function is_active_nav_menu($location){ if(has_nav_menu($location)){ $locations = get_nav_menu_locations(); $menu = wp_get_nav_menu_items($locations[$location]); if(!empty($menu)){ return true; } } return false; } ``` * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Custom Menu – is_active_menu()](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-menu-is_active_menu/) * Thread Starter [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-menu-is_active_menu/#post-1623495) * Ok so… `has_nav_menu()` will return true or false based on whether or not a “ theme-location” for a menu actually has a menu assigned to it. That gets me partially there, I would like to then find out, if it DOES have a menu associated with it does that menu have items in it? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Reusables] [Plugin: WordPress Reusables] Permission Problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-permission-problem/) * Plugin Author [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-permission-problem/#post-1583958) * Is this a reusables admin screen? and do you have full admin access to the WordPress install? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Reusables] [Plugin: WordPress Reusables] Admin left nav goes away](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-admin-left-nav-goes-away/) * Plugin Author [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-admin-left-nav-goes-away/#post-1583292) * Hmm… when you say you posted a “message” do you mean a post or a reusable? And did you try uninstalling/deactivating the plugin to see if the admin menu comes back? Also, are you using WordPress 3.0 and is it a brand new fresh install of it, or did you upgrade to it? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Reusables] [Plugin: WordPress Reusables] Updating to WP Reusables to version 3.0](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-updating-to-wp-reusables-to-version-30/) * Plugin Author [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-updating-to-wp-reusables-to-version-30/#post-1548469) * v3 uses the wp_reus_regions, wp_reus_roles, wp_post_reus, and wp_posts tables. The old wp_reus table isn’t being used anymore since the addition of custom post types in WP3. * I’m not exactly sure why it wouldn’t be working now on your existing install. I was having the exact same problem on my own site and I found that the issue was that only on and upgraded version of WordPress the reusables would save as“ future” posts. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Reusables] [Plugin: WordPress Reusables] Updating to WP Reusables to version 3.0](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-updating-to-wp-reusables-to-version-30/) * Plugin Author [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-updating-to-wp-reusables-to-version-30/#post-1548276) * Patched… update the plugin, thanks! * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Items gone missing after WP3 upgrade](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/items-gone-missing-after-wp3-upgrade/) * Thread Starter [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/items-gone-missing-after-wp3-upgrade/#post-1548933) * Apparently the comments problem is an issue with my theme, they show up in the twentyten theme and my old theme, but as far as I can tell I’m using mostly the same code in my new theme which is odd. * As far as the custom content type — thats just weird, works fine on a fresh install. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Items gone missing after WP3 upgrade](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/items-gone-missing-after-wp3-upgrade/) * Thread Starter [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/items-gone-missing-after-wp3-upgrade/#post-1548925) * Nope, still nothing :/ * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Reusables] [Plugin: WordPress Reusables] Updating to WP Reusables to version 3.0](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-updating-to-wp-reusables-to-version-30/) * Plugin Author [ooeygui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ooeygui/) * (@ooeygui) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-reusables-updating-to-wp-reusables-to-version-30/#post-1548241) * If you’re really in a pinch, you might want to try a fresh install of WP3 — like I said I’ve been having some similar issues after upgrading but everything appears to work fine on a fresh install. * In the meantime I’ll see if I can work this out.
